GOP Alabama Senate Candidate Roy Moore refused to concede on Tuesday night and insisted more votes could still swing the race and save him from a stunning defeat to an underdog Democrat.
“When the vote is this close, that it’s not over,” he told supporters in Montgomery at his campaign rally shortly after Democrat Doug Jones already had been declared the winner by multiple news organizations and had given a televised victory speech.
With all precincts reporting, Jones had 49.9 percent and Moore 48.4 percent.
Moore quoted from scripture and told supporters to wait for all votes to come in – including provisional ballots and those cast by overseas military members.
“That’s what we’ve got to do, is wait on God and let this process play out,” Moore said. “But the votes are still coming in and we’re looking at that.”

I’d allow Roy his recounts, which aren’t “Hillary.”
Perhaps, but don't discount the deep state psy-ops against the good people of Alabama with the false child-molestor narrative of Judge Moore.
I read tonight one person from Alabama voted for Moore but they claimed they had to hold their nose to do it. I was like, WTH, Moore has done nothing wrong, why would they feel like they had to hold their nose to vote for him? Sadly the answer came to me, psy-ops works.

I guess he thought that cutting a figure, being an aw shucks redneck, was enough.
Even FR stood up better for Moore than Moore himself did.
The problem is, people didn’t take into account the cost of a Moore loss.
Personally? I think some of that “10 Commandments” schtick hurt him too.
Ask most Baptists and they’ll explain it pretty well.
True enough in a jaded age. Surely he couldn’t be worse than a John McCain.
You are so right, yet, since the dawn of time that battle has existed toe-to-toe.
It would also be foolish for any conservative to say this election was not sabotaged, or to back down to the coming fight with the RINO-UNI-Party!
There are many factors in this Alabama loss however!
At the end of the day, *Trump had twice as many votes as Roy Moore.
From this FACT, we can also conclude “so called” RNC/Conservative Alabama voters decided it was OKAY if a pro-abortion, pro-lgbt, anti-American, global socialist, Trump impeaching, anti-Trump, anti-conservative, and ultimately anti-God candidate be elected!
Either half of the Alabama voters were LAZY, or half of the Alabama voters were Complicit!
What God fearing conservative can come FACE TO FACE with THE EXACT EVIL which desires to corrupt and destroy his children and wife, which seeks to subjugate he and his family, simply give the hand of his wife, little girl, or little boy over to the same EVIL ENEMY!!
This person or VOTER CANNOT CLAIM HE LOVES GOD, LIBERTY, OR HIS COUNTRY!
AND HE CANNOT CLAIM HE LOVES AMERICA!
SHAME ON THOSE WHO CHOSE NOT TO FIGHT AGAISNT EVIL, WHO CHOSE TO PLACE EVIL OVER THEIR LAND FOR ANY REASON!
The real answer is not the politician but the evangelist.
And diluting the (R) quotient of the Senate. Maybe Trump had a point with Luther Strange. He was safer for a general election. Moore had more color than the world was ready for.
Agreed, but in the final analysis, the judge simply failed to bring enough voters around to our mindset.
And the voters were too stupid to think through the consequences.
Maybe he didn’t pitch well enough to the pews, not just the choir.
Roy was a mite stiff too, which resulted in breaking when he could have merely bent.
On point.
And this was an irregularly timed election. The lefties whipped up more interest here, face it. The dutiful voting righty set was November minded. Not December minded. This needed more than the usual politicking.
Now is the time for any woman groped by a democrat to come forward. Because it’s “believe the woman” season
Ironically a generic “let’s keep our Senate seats Republican” campaign might have beat out one selling Roy against a scandal, even a faux one.
Well, Bama is probably going to get a Democrat Senator. Let’s see how well those rednecks like it!
Sho nuff
Wait until next week when the rest of the ballots are counted. Then Concede.
Yup, electing another commie to the District of Commies is a very bad thing if we want to restore this Constitutional Republic. It just boggles the mind on how these people don't think of the consequences or understand they are being played by the DC establishment. My biggest fear is we get the country we deserve. I hope not as there still is a lot of good people in America as demonstrated here by the good people of Free Republic.
